Mystery: The Ancient God is Actually Me Chapter 5

"Lieutenant Admiral Hurricane Qilingus, one of those seven pirate generals?"

Not only Audrey, but even Klein, who was sitting at the head of the long bronze table, almost did not keep his expression. ”, and the rest of the people, more or less, have heard similar names.

According to the internal intelligence of the Nighthawks, every pirate general is an extremely dangerous existence. But now, The Hanged Man says that he has infiltrated Backlund!

How did he sneak in? It is impossible for the whereabouts of such a dangerous person not to be noticed by the authorities? Klein thought to himself.

If it's true, I can't even report this information to the captain. As a night watchman in an inland city, how can I accurately grasp the information of the "Pirate General"!

"Forget it, let it be, I don't have to worry about everything..." Klein decided to give up his own thoughts on this matter, and instead wanted to see the "justice" response.

Audrey has recovered from the slight gaffe just now, and has returned to the "audience" state. Although she is curious about what the sealed artifact is, she doesn't want to reveal her attitude quickly.

After becoming an Extraordinary and participating in various "gatherings" and activities as an "audience", she already knew how stupid her naive behavior in front of "The Hanged Man" was.

Seeing that "Justice" didn't answer, the whole party was a little cold for a while, and immediately turned his head to look at Klein and said:

"Mr. Fool, can I ask your favored person to provide the necessary help? I will pay you a remuneration equivalent to this."

Blessed person, how can I have any favored person... Klein used the spit to ease his own embarrassment, while slightly shaking his head and smiling perfunctoryly said:

"My Blessed One is hunting down another more dangerous target recently. I will spread this quest. If any Blessed One happens to be in Backlund, your wish may come true."

"Follow your will." Seeing that there was no progress, Alger could only withdraw his gaze half disappointed and half expected.

Audrey looked at the "Hanged Man" who had been praying to Mr. Fool to no avail, and asked eagerly:

"What's so special about Qilingus' sealed artifact that can use other pathway abilities?"

Just now, she carefully weighed the pros and cons and her own resources and abilities, and found that she has a good investigation ability in Backlund.

First of all, she can use her father's power and her own reputation to use a lot of resources in the upper circle.

Secondly, the two Beyonder friends she met recently also have their own circles. As a former doctor and now a well-known writer, Fors knows a lot of people in the middle class; and Hugh Dilcha, an "arbiter", is a well-known mediator in the eastern part of Backlund. Both the working class and the gang are able to speak out, and they can get some easily overlooked information from secret channels.

In this way, she alone can touch the news source of almost all classes of people in Backlund. Coupled with the other Beyonders that Hugh and Fors knew and the "party" they had joined, she might not be able to give it a try, and took over the request of "The Hanged Man" to investigate Qilingus.

"The Hanged Man" saw that "Justice" suddenly became positive, the corners of his mouth could not help slightly tilt, and he answered her question without any hesitation:

"It is a **** and evil Sealed Artifact. Because it combines the abilities of multiple sequences, it is impossible to determine which path it belongs to, but those who are familiar with Qilingos know that he is called 'Wriggling Hunger'. A glove-shaped Sealed Artifact that feeds on living people."

"If you want to investigate, you can try to pay attention to the case of Backlund's disappearance." Speaking of this, Alger seemed to have thought of something, with a familiar sarcasm in his words, "If he has entered the East District, then This information will be meaningless, after all, it is hard for you to imagine how many people die every day in such a factory area."

When Audrey heard this, she couldn't help frowning and opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.

She turned to thinking that if Creeping Hunger had to be used at the cost of human life, then she would have no interest in it. She had a natural discomfort with this evil thing that craved the blood and soul of living people, and was very disgusted. .

Audrey paused, ignoring the sarcasm from The Hanged Man just now. Just when she was about to ask for more details, she heard the little Sun, who had been excluded due to geographical factors from the beginning of the discussion, suddenly exclaimed. A sentence:

"Shepherd!"

"Shepherd?"

"Justice" and "The Hanged Man" turned their heads to the "Sun" at the same time. They were very surprised that the little "Sun" seemed to be able to guess which sequence "Wriggling Hunger" belonged to, but was completely curious compared to "Justice" , "The Hanged Man" is more like having heard a similar name, and at this moment has a great interest and wants to dig out more information.

Although "Sun" couldn't help but panic because of everyone's reaction, he still told in detail all the information he knew about "Shepherd".

After several discussions, although Alger had given up hope, he still provided Qilingus' portrait to Justice.

Seeing that the discussion and sharing had come to an end, Klein quickly ended the meeting and cut off contact with everyone's salute.

It has been determined that "Sun" can contact his Klein normally through prayer. At this time, he has already changed into his formal clothes. He will go to Henry's Private Investigative Office to check the progress of the investigation on "Red Chimney" that he had entrusted before.

East District, a neighborhood controlled by the Huili Party, outside a pale yellow building populated by watchmakers.

Ambrosius hid himself under the broken street sign, and was looking at the crystal ball reflecting the crimson moonlight in his hand according to the traces left by the "Container of Uncertain Mist" on the ground, divination her. whereabouts.

Generally speaking, a demigod would never leave very obvious traces when moving, not to mention that she has a Level 0 Sealed Artifact of the "Apprentice" pathway.

But judging from the traces left on the ground, she is obviously injured now, and her means of "roaming" have also been deprived, so she can barely escape by relying on the "assassin"'s own invisibility, combined with the powerful "distortion".

The only one who can restrain a demigod with a level 0 sealed item in Backlund is Loen's "Founder", the sequence one "Hand of Order" of the "Judge" pathway, William Augustus can do!

Thinking of this, Ambrosius couldn't help but feel annoyed. If it wasn't for the "Wind Blessed" who used the "Shepherd"'s corresponding sealed item yesterday to make too many murders, the "Mist of Uncertainty" distorted his divination results. , led himself in the completely opposite direction, and he could join forces with Augustus to kill that "container".

"However, why does the divination result tell me that not killing the 'Wind Blessed' is the best choice?"

Ambrosius put away the crystal ball in his hand while recalling the results of yesterday's divination.

He didn't get any feedback, he could only confirm that she was still in Backlund, and she was lurking somewhere.

He raised his head and looked towards the direction of Sodrak Palace, like a swarm of flaming worms. The bright city lights shimmering in the haze of Backlund seemed to be struggling with something.

After a few struggles, Ambrosius whispered the honorable name of a certain existence as if resigning his fate:

"The embodiment of ancient legends."

"A symbol of mystery and rebirth."

"The immortal butterfly that walks with Jingguang under the mysterious seat."

"The great Edmund Jason the Corruptor."

Along with the whispered prayers in the silent night sky, the nearly solidified sludge on the ground in the Eastern District suddenly bubbled up, like cocoons embedded in the mud, they absorbed the filth around them and kept expanding.

Suddenly, the cocoons in the mud burst one after another, and illusory butterflies of blue and purple flew out. They were bathed in the dim red light of the red moon, flapping their wings and rolled up the remaining mud on the ground, combining with the light in the air. , intertwined into a mixed figure.

He is composed of Moonlight and Night Butterfly, and there is thick black mud hanging on his body. The strange thing is that the black mud can't soak and contaminate him even a little.

Ambrosius looked at the "childish" trick of the colleague in front of him, and said angrily:

"Do you have to be so 'official' every time?"

Following His sarcasm, the illusory butterflies on the hybrid humanoid body scattered and flew in all directions, leaving only one smiling, dressed in gorgeous formal clothes, with a half-length light gray color. Men with curly hair.

Edmund Jason smiled and said carelessly:

"It's just my style. I thought you've gotten used to it for over a thousand years."

"Tell me, what's the matter? You won't contact me if you don't encounter a big problem."

The next morning, Klein walked down Zoetland Road with his head down, recalling Ms. Daly's late-night visit last night,

Maybe I can really summon myself according to the method taught by Ms. Daly?

But if the gray fog is really alive, who is it that I summoned?

But after so long, it hasn't changed much since the "Eternal Blazing Sun" divination. It was probably just a stress reaction before. I can gather some knowledge about summoning, and then I will summon myself when I am sure. .....

"Oh, it's like Yu-Gi-Oh!"

Klein couldn't help laughing, and immediately turned serious, returning to his serious expression. He had already reached the door of No. 36 Zoetland Street.

Yesterday, he promised Ms. Daly that he would secretly hand over the "acting method" to the captain. Klein took a deep breath and gently opened the door. After greeting Roshan, he walked directly to the partition and knocked on the door of the captain's office.

"Come in." Dunn's mellow voice came out.

As soon as Klein walked in, he saw that the captain had already sat up straight, picked up the jacket in his hand, and looked like he was about to solve the problem.

Seeing this, Klein couldn't help but startled, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

I'm not a "smart person"...he complained in Chinese in his heart and immediately started talking about the business:

"Captain, I have something to report to you."
